On his Instagram account, Bierk thanked those who had donated while also noting that “a“[Homelessness] is not a moral failing. People who are unhoused are not people that just don’t know how to work hard,” he wrote, adding “w“We need a multitude of support starting by a caring and empathetic approach to meet [people’s] basic needs and take care of each other.”, and said he’d be asking the city solicitor whether it’s legal for a city councillor to request citizen donations of “weed and alcohol.
“Personally, do I think it’s something he should be doing, as a councillor? No,” Haacke said. “But I’m not the final authority on it.”that “on the surface it does appear to be counterintuitive to request these specific items for our homeless community.” He added, however, that “as someone who has never had an addiction issue or suffered through homelessness,” he would “defer to Councillor Bierk’s judgment as what is best when it comes to harm reduction and care for relating to our homeless community.”“Are ppl so misguided that they think all of us in harm reduction are getting in the way of some magic scenario of recovery — like you see in the movies?” he tweeted on Monday.
